Luxurious, flowing locks have long been a symbol of beauty and femininity. But for a number of women, that narrow definition of attractiveness doesn’t apply. They’ve chosen instead, for reasons both personal and practical, to shave their heads, redefining what it means to look and feel beautiful.

“What I really thought when I shaved my head was that I was going to look in the mirror and really see myself for the first time,” says Megan Armstrong, a Baltimore-based artist who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis her sophomore year in college, which factored into her decision to shed her waist-length hair for a buzz cut. “I’m not hiding behind anything — I’m expressing my truest nature.”

Last Friday, a woman named Rachel Taylor was shopping at Old Navy when she overheard an interaction between a mother and her daughter.

Taylor recounted the incident on her Facebook page:

Today I was shopping in Old Navy, standing in between a teenage girl and her mom. The girl picked up a plus-size tank top, showed it to her mom and said, “Look! Me and So-and-so can fit in this tank top!” Her mom laughed and said, “Yeah, you could! That thing is huge!”

Since she is plus-size herself, Taylor wrote that the conversation made her feel awful….She said she left the store and began to cry:

I couldn’t help it; I started crying. I guess the girl and her mom walked away. I have no idea. My husband walked me out of the store to the car. I sat in the car crying for a long time but eventually went back inside to finish my shopping.

But instead of letting the words affect her, Taylor decided to do something awesome. She tried the tank top on, and it looked great. “I ended up buying that tank top because, it turns out, I look fierce in it,” she wrote.

“Old Navy, thank you for having adorable clothes for all shapes & sizes. I’d like to tell you the story behind this tank top and why I’ll be rocking it tomorrow for July 4th.

Think about others before you speak. And if someone hurts you, you have to move on.”

After she bought the shirt, she posted a selfie of herself wearing it to her Facebook page and to Old Navy’s Facebook page (seen below). The two posts combined have received over 150,000 likes.
